$0 Store - $100 in 30 Days? (AI Built, Live Challenge) Part 1

About this video

In Part 1 of a live challenge, he starts from a blank EverBee store, builds it with AI, connects a print provider, and sets the goal — stated in the video, not just the title — of making over $100 within the first month, with an ambition of a first sale within 24 hours. He keeps the store name hidden so viewers do not skew his analytics. Using ChatGPT for concepts, he picks the store idea ‘Daily Drop Tees’ for print-on-demand shirts/products, lets EverBee’s AI generate the storefront, chooses fonts/colours, and tours the dashboard (orders, customers, products, collections, marketing/email, discounts, SEO and an AI assistant). He notes EverBee sign-up is $1 for the first month via his affiliate link, then installs the print-provider app (Printify), publishes designs to the store, and walks through creating a Gildan 5000 unisex heavy cotton tee in Printify, uploading a design, choosing variants/colours and mockups, fixing an AI-generated title that confused a tennis design, and pricing shirts at $20 while noting larger sizes raise production cost and shrink profit. For research he checks Amazon’s newest arrivals for designs with sales/BSR signals, spots the viral ‘six seven’ Halloween trend dominating pages, cross-checks demand and sales on Etsy, then uses ChatGPT as a research assistant to turn that concept into original design ideas for generators like Kittl or Ideogram. He adds a 10%-off discount code, considers a free-shipping threshold around $35 to push a second shirt, tests the checkout and confirms the code applies, and closes by saying Part 2 will cover choosing a social platform and marketing content to drive traffic.

Key takeaways

• The challenge is an AI-built EverBee store connected to a print provider, aiming — he says — for over $100 in the first month and ideally a first sale in 24 hours
• He uses ChatGPT both for the store concept (Daily Drop Tees) and as a research assistant to turn a trending concept into original design ideas
• His demand research starts on Amazon newest arrivals looking for sales/BSR signals — where he spots the viral ‘six seven’ trend — then cross-checks sales on Etsy
• In Printify he builds a Gildan 5000 tee priced at $20, warning that larger sizes cost more to produce so flat pricing cuts profit on 2X-5X
• He sets a 10%-off code, tests it at checkout himself, and weighs a roughly $35 free-shipping threshold to encourage buying a second shirt; marketing is deferred to Part 2
